- WOMAN. TIT JOTIN R. SUTERMEI3TEB. ' Whon in young Eden's bower, Mm breathed the vernal air, ort fr;!;ranco blessed each flower Which bloomed in beauty there: Tii- ijrecn earth smiled in gladness, While danced the sun on high; And nVer a cloud of sadness Obscured the beauteous sky. , The streamlet sparkled brighily , : The smiling mead along, The birds of a ir woke lightly Their sweet and vernal song The zephyrs kiFScd each blossom Which graced the vernal grov j; And o"er soft nature's bosom, Bright heaven smiled in love. Man, man was joyless only, When all in joy va3 dressed ; His soul wa3 dark and lonely When Earth and Heaven were blessed : Till woman rose in beauty Her blessings to impart; To cheer his path of duty And share with him her heart. ' She came in youthful gladness v ' Fresh as the almond bough, To chase the cloud of sadness Which veiled his noble brow; She was the Angel given To guide man's erring way To lead his feet to heaven, By love's delightful sway! Hail, gentle woman's power! It is her vestal snrle, Which glads the sccial hcur,, Which doth the heart beguile! Without her smile to lighten, Earth were a wilderness Without one ray to brighten . Without one beam to bless!
The Bachelor's Soia. A Raehelor leads an easy life, Few folks that are wed, live better A man may live with a very good wife. But the puzzle is hew to get her. There are pretty good wives and pretty bad wives,And wives neither one thing nor 'tother; And as for the wives who scold all their lives; I would rather wed Adam's grandmother. Some chooss their ladies for ease or for grace, Or pretty turned foot as they are walking; Some choose for f gure and some for face, But very few choose them for talking. , Now as for the wife I would follow through life,
it is sue wno can speaic sincerely Who, not over nice, can give advice ' And love a good husband dearly. So Ladies and Gents, when to wedlock inclin'd,
May deceit or ill humor ne'er trap ye, May those that are single get wives to mind; And those that are married live happy, X bachelor leads an easy life, ", Few that are married live better A man may live with a very good wife, . But the puzzle is where to get her.

about tho first of January is 'the Lest lime. Make a close calculation, and sec in what latitude you are sailing; see where you have missed a figure, and let these errors be as beacons and landmarks to warn you in future. For the neglect of such reckoning, and running on in a supposed prosperous course, many have been shipwrecked and ruined. . Small debts and interest are loo often overlooked by debtors, but creditors never forget them: hence bring them all into reckoning, whether for or against; they often make a large item in the general account. Should you build a house, let it be no larger than is necessary for the purpose designed; foT buildings in the country, unnecessarily large, are poor property, Lut in any case, let the cellar be large as the frame. Have an opinion of your own, but ever keep your mind open to conviction. Never despise a man because ho dhTers in opinion from you. As to religious matters, be no stranger to your bible, and form your creed from its pages and from the opinions of men. As to politics, endeavor to understand, in some measure, the government in which you live, and the clu ractcr and motives of men who direct it. Never give your vote to a man who is unworthy to receive it; and disdain the man who would so disgrace human nature as to sell his. vote for a glass of rum. Should you have the misfortune by miscalculation, treachery of others, or otherwise, to fail, compound with your creditors, be honest, deliver up all, and begin tho world anew. But, remember, Charles, that a debt is not morally paid when the creditor relinquishes, reluctantly, a part to save the remainder; therefore, I say be honest, pay those creditors both principal and interest to the last cent; and show to the world that you have acted the man and not the knave. Lastly, should you some time hence think of entering into a family state, be not in a hurry; let judgment control fancy. A thorough understanding of the business of the kitchen is of tip greatest importance to any lady; to say the least, the lady who is unacquainted with this important accomplishment is continually liable to imposition
by her servants. The sound of tho gridiron to a hungry man is better music than the sound of a Piano. Seek one who is prudent and discreet, in whom there is neatness and good sense; such an one is of great price. "Dignity and honor' in domestic life, "arc her clothing, and on her tongue is the law. of kindness." But mark the reverse: "It is better, said a wise prince, to
dwell in the corner of the house top," or if
you please in one end of the garret, where motherwort and tansey, and many useless combustible matters are promiscuously thrown together, "than with a brawling woman in a wide house," where all the capacious rooms are richly garnished with the best of furniture. N.E. Famw.
JtKOTTIER JONATHAN'S ADVICE TO HIS SOX. Well, Charles the long wished for day has arrived: and from this time you are no longer under my care and control. You are now your own man, and the world is before you. Such has been your obedience, industry and deportment, during your minority, that I have full confidence that you will
never willingly place a thorn in my pillow; Imt'ttiat you will, by industry, integrity and honesty, play the man, and thereby establish a character for yourself. As you have been educated in the habits of industrj', I need not say much on that score, yet it cannot be too often repeated, that at all events, shun the haunts of idlers, dram shops, and all places of dissipation, as it rs not reputable to be seen at such, except of imperious necessity. For your general conduct in society, be pleasant and obliging to your equals and inferiors;, respectful to your superiors and seniors; sincere and upright with all. Avoid contention and strife, and shun all bad company. . Despise not the poor and decrepit show pity to the unfortunate,5 and extend charity to the needy, especially to those, who arc worthy to receive it. Small injuries treat with silent contempt never retaliate, but manfully defend yourself when .necessary.

A man named IIot, being condemned for murder, by Lord Bacon, humbly implored his mercy by a little ill-timed wit, observing it not unlikely he might be a distant relation from tho similarity of their names."

a temperance, and uso all gently thus!" said the prisoner, attempting to give the watch a scientific cross. He was too tipsy for success and the watch grappled him the tighter. "Aint you ashamed of yourself?" "Yes the attempt and not the deed confounds me. This joking spoils manhood. Oh," roared he, taking a theatrical attitude. Oh that I could but meet thee in thy might, With but one plank between us and destruction; I'd grasp thee in these despera'e arms. And plunge with thee into the weltering waves.' ' "Crickcc!" said the watch, "'such duckin is no sport." "Ah, yoif re no sailor you arc an ultra marine." "Do be quiet, sonny, you gain nothing by cutting monkeys. I must call assistance if you don't." "A consultation on my case no I don't like it Pll only get into hot water. I vield, because 1 have no choice. Come on MackdulT."

Origin of the term John BulV Dr. John Bull was the first Gresham professor of music, and organist and composer to queen Elizabeth. John, like a true Englishman, travelled for improvement, and having heard of a famous musician at St. Omcr's, ho placed himself under him as a novice; but a circumstance very soon convinced the wtastcr "that he was inferior to the scholar The musician showed John a song, which ho had composed in forty parts! telling him, at the same time, that he defied all the world to produce a person capable of adding another part to his composition. Bull desired to be left alone, and to be indulged for a short time with pen and ink. In less than three hours he had added forty parts more to the song. Upon which the Frenchman was so surprised, that he swore in 'great ccstacy, he must be cither the Devil ov John Bull, which has ever since been proverbial in England.
John let go- drop down give up." The : British then took all the furs, canoes, traps, provisions, and every thing else they possessed, and left our poor fellows entirely destitute. The next day John and his party went to see the officer. He told them as they were American Indians and not supposed to be acquainted with the law, he would give them up every thing but their furs; but should they ever again be caught hunting upon the King's lands they would be imprisoned at Quebec. With this admonition they departed. This occurrence happened five weeks ago last Friday, Anecdote. A friend of mine, in 'blue law times,' was sitting in the portico with a clergyman when 'his reverence' fi ll into a laugh that shook him from head to foot, r.s the saying is. On enquiring tho occasion of it, he was thus answered. 'Why, I am thinking how much my deacon, who is coininrr yonder, resembles a barrel of ashes.' But what in the world,' says tho other, 'do you find about him to justify such a simile?" Why,1 said he Till abr.rr.lwhh ashes, and it will hold just about as much water as if there was no ashes in il. So,' paid h?, it is with him. He is chuck full of religion always talking about it: but after all there seems to be just as much room for iniquity as though he had no religion at all.
Long Parsxits. A man who had removed from the land of steady habits to the far West, being on a visit to his eastern friends, was enquired of respecting the fertility of the soil in that region. After describing a variety of wonderful productions, he added- "in Missouri we have no parsnips; we frequently plant them, but they strike so deep, that the people who live on the opposite side of the globe lay hold on the roots and pull them through, so that we entirely lose the crop."
A METROrOLITAX SCENE. A few nights since a young man of gentlemanly appearance came down street talk
ing very - earnestly to himselr, and gesticulating with creat vehemence. It was some
time past 12, and he encountered in three or four squares but few benighted individuals,
who gave him a passing glance of surprise, and walked on. The following is the purport of his thinking, in his own words:
"Ned's champaigne is more than good
ivs prime. Bad tor the cholera though.
There's the rub in every thing. Whatever's
oood is bad. A paradox, hey ! Yet I can
prove it as clear as yes, as clear as what? I've got but one simile, and that's not genteel. -O, no we never mention it' to ears polite as clear as a pikestaff, or the nose on your face. Is not wine good, 'when it is good ? and is'nt it bad to drink wine when it's good? Is'rit good-acting good? and is'nt it bad to go to the theatre to sec it? Is'nt it good to eat tarrapinos, venison, canvassbacks, lobsters? and isnt it bad because we get the gout? It is all fact. Whatever is good is bad. I should not wonder if I should get the cholera, I feel so good. "I say," cried a man from across the street, "If you make so much noise, you'll be taken up." "Ah, indeed; thank you. That's a pre
monitory; Fin in lor it. People suppose! me drunk, merely because I am cheerful. Drunk, here's a pump, and I'll prove my sobriety by waltzing with it." He danced round the pump, singing "Turn toodle too
turn toodle toe, turn toodle toodle, toodle, toodle, toodle, too turn," to the tune of the "Green Hills of Tyrol." The watch stepped up and seized him by the collar, exclaiming, "You are my prisoner." "Hey, what, collared! I've got it!" "Got what, sir?" "You are the malignant collarcr, and

The Penobscots. A party of these Indians, consisting of some fuity oi fifty men,
women and children, have recently come
down the river and pitched their wigwams up
on the shore of our bay in the vicinity of this
village. Ihcse Indians exhibit a marked improvement both in their character and
condition. Intemperance is no longer
prevailing vice among mem. iney say "the old ones (drunkards) have died ollj and
the priest has taught the younger ones not to." With this salutary change they seem
to have imbibed a greater taste for many of
the arts and comtorts of civilized life. They appear more interested in the instructions imparted to their children by the priest and other benevolent whites, and to own a frame
house with a green door," is the pride and
boast ot many ot the young chiefs.
Those located here, employ themselves
in catching seal and making baskets until fall, when they return to Old Town. One of the most intelligent of those here,
(Captain Stanislaus) has related to us amisfortune which happened to a party of his friends, the circumstances of which are in substance as follows : "John Neptune, his son Sol Neptune, Soccobason Neptune, his brother Capt. Pearl Tomar, and Louis Tomar, his son, left Old Town last fall with their canoes, traps, provisions &c, for a hunting expedition. After reaching the head waters of -the Penobscot, they traversed the wilderness until they struck the St. Lawrence, about forty miles below Quebec. Here they hired a chcbccco boat to carry them and their canoes &,c. to the mouth of Salmon river, when they again took their canoes and paddles, and went up far beyond any traces of cizilizcd or savage life. Finding plenty of game, they spent the winter in trapping the beaver, otter, sable, musk rat, &c. in which they were very successful, having taken
furs worth at Bangor fifteen hundred dollars. This hunting ground being within his ma
jesty's dominions, is interdicted to our Indi
ans, and reserved to a trade in that vicinity, whose furs are monopolised by the Government. These facts John and his party were fully apprised of, and in order to elude those on the river appointed to look out for and apprehend all such poachers upon the King's domain, they both in ascending and descending the river, secreted themselves and canoes in the woods in the dav time, and
at night pursued their course in silence.
But on their return, and when near the Sal
mon river, John became less wary and neglected to secrete his furs. They were espied by a custom house officer while encamped and their furs lying around them, and demanded them as the property of the King the Penobscots refused to give them
up, the officer then despatched his son for a reinforcement, who soon returned with a possee of twenty Canadians and ten Indians the furs were again demanded, and on forcibly attempting to remove them a fight ensued, which lasted for a considerable lime. The Penobscots had to contend against fearful odds. Capt. Stanislaus says, "John Neptune he seize em two English he hold him still, when a third English he came up behind and strike John between lie's shoulders hard with the pole of an axe
